Key Facts About NIHL:
- Risk Factors: Anyone can suffer from NIHL, especially those in noisy jobs like construction or music.
- Symptoms: Ringing in the ears, muffled sounds, and difficulty understanding speech are common signs.
- Impact: Hearing loss can affect communication, mental health, and job performance.
How to Protect Your Hearing:
- Use Protective Equipment: Earplugs and earmuffs with high Noise Reduction Ratings (NRR) are essential.
- Safe Listening Practices: Follow the 60/60 rule—60% volume for no longer than 60 minutes at a time.
